Very honored. Very pregnant. Very terrified.

I have not been shy about sharing my anxiety and social awkwardness with all of you. I was not always this way, but things have happened in my life that have dramatically changed the way I approach the world. My anxiety has been my shadow for the last eight years now.

I am only anxious with strangers… and crowds… and when I am alone.

But since I’ve deemed this the Year of the Scary for me, I decided to challenge myself by attending my first ever blogging conference. In two weeks I am going to BlogHer ’11 in San Diego.

For the sixty percent of my readers who are not bloggers- this conference is HUGE. This conference is one of the biggest, most respected in the country.

Congrats! I have a social anxiety disorder, so I completely understand! I would be totally terrified too! But, WOW, what an honor for you!

I intend to go to a conference one day myself, but the thought petrifies me nearly as much as it excites me!
I’m sure you’ll be all kinds of awesome, though and you’ll be si proud of yourself for doing it!

CONGRATULATIONS! What an incredible honor!
I am very pregnant, too. Due 10/29. SO I feel you there. I wish I was going to BlogHer, but I decided it wouldn’t be as much fun since I’m preggo. Hee hee!
I know anxiety is rough (I suffer from that and depression myself), but I have faith you will be alright. You and Empress will end up sticking together and I bet you’ll have a blast! 😉

Congrats on the upcoming babe. Hope you are feeling well. My sausage legs will think of yours while I am shaking in my boots at BlogHer. 🙂 Unless… yours aren’t sausage-like yet… in which case, I’m just jealous.

I kept meaning to come over and congratulate you – sorry I’m a few days late!! SO proud and thrilled for you. Truly. And *I* will be there so you will know me! I’ll just look for the funny preggo girl. 😉

Congratulations Jenni! Always think that this blog conference will be one of the most exciting and the best moments of your life! Just be safe on your travel and take a lot of pictures. We will be waiting for your return post! Good luck!
